Get customer by externalId

Returns very basic information about a customer based on their external customer ID. For you to be able to retrieve a customer, they must have at least one session initiated with your API-Key. Please note that this endpoint returns an array of objects because we cannot ensure the uniqueness of the external customer ID.
